Kinglake NP, Andrew Hill and Wombelano Falls. Approx 27km, 970m elevation (hard)

Join us for a challenging long day hike in Kinglake National Park that includes forest and 4WD tracks, and some very steep hills.

Starting from the carpark near the Gums Campground, we will follow a loop to Andrew Hill through to the Island Creek Picnic Area. From there we will take various tracks to do a circuit around Wombelano Falls. We will then return from the falls using the same tracks, through to the campground and back to the carpark.

Please do not RSVP to any Eastern Hiking & Adventure event unless you are fully committed to attending. It is your responsibility to check the date, distance, and difficulty of the walk before RSVPing. Members who frequently withdraw at the last minute, fail to show up, arrive without being on the "going" list, or behave disrespectfully towards leaders or fellow members will be asked to leave the walk and may be removed from the group. All leaders are unpaid volunteers who invest a great deal of their own time to plan and research each walk. Their efforts deserve respect and consideration. Organisers do their best to minimise waitlists where possible, and priority will be given to reliable members who attend regularly and contribute positively to the group experience.

Carparking is limited but there is another space you could park 80m before you reach the carpark on Kinglake-Glenburn Road if that one is full. Carpooling is encouraged only if you feel comfortable doing so.
